  1. Sample size sunscreen and Cocoons are always with me. The hat changes with the situation. Cora Lyn, MacularDegeneration.net Team Member

    1. You don’t have to give up style with cocoon sunglasses - I got these from Amazon & love they fit over my regular glasses, plus are very stylish. I had a friend ask me where I got my sunglasses - she really liked them & had no clue they were cocoon, wrap-around shades! I got a double pack & keep one in my car & another in my husband’s car! Best find of the year (thanks to Richard & his suggestion)! Linda Hoopes, Advocate Fashionable Cocoon Sunglasses
